7/7/2010 Review: Lynyrd Skynyrd Brings Masterful Southern Rock to Massachusetts
Lynyrd Skynyrdare currently out on the first leg of their US summer tour, and as the band stormed through Massachusetts earlier this month, the BostonMusicSpotlight.com was on hand to write-up the show.
"The biker chaps, tattoos, and Confederate flags were out in force Thursday night as the spirit of southern rock swept over the Comcast Center in anticipation of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s visit. The air of an upcoming Independence Day added a sense of patriotism which would gracefully complement the ambiance of southern pride as the night played out its course. And when it had, one thing was clear: Lynyrd Skynyrd know how to electrify a crowd. From start to finish of their lengthy set, the level of energy palpable in the venue was simply insane," explains the site.
As they run through the set list highlights, the site goes on to describe a special moment: "[Johnny] Van Zant would take a moment later on to recognize the upcoming Independence Day by dedicating the next song – 'Simple Man' – to the nation’s troops and their families. It was a powerful moment in the Comcast Center, as thousands of people swayed back and forth in unison, raising small American flags which had been distributed by soldiers prior to the concert. Van Zant even paused during the song to declare, 'God bless our troops and their families.' This was a meaningful gesture; any frontman will take the time between songs to show gratitude to our nation’s defenders, but not many care enough to interrupt a song. It was inspiring to see such a genuine act. The emotional interlude would continue as a recording of 'All I Can Do Is Write About It' played while pictures of the late Ronnie Van Zant, the band’s founding vocalist, scrolled across the screen."
